Congratulations for winning the 5-line poetry contest. This poem is beautiful and very well thought out. It made me read it numerous times and analyse how I feel about it and each time I found a new meaning to it. Congratulations!

It seems this destitute man is searching for the light and the end to the tunnel to lead him into a better life. We all should find ways to help him.

Congrats on your win.

Happy Holidays and keep writing

I admired your thought-provoking, philosophical 5 Line Poem and your embedding it in the dramatic picture to emphasize the social commentary. Many kudos on winning the contest with this well-crafted work- Joan

Wow-I can see why this won the contest. It's certainly the best one I've read during my reviews lately. Powerfully presented as well. Fluid flow. The intensity in tone and phrasing style is dramatic and effective. I love the phonics of D sounds too--both alliterative and consonant. The opening two words carry so much weight. clothed in donations speaks volumes too. Shadows seeking definition--brilliant!

Wish I had a six. This is perfect.

Warmly, rd

    So, I'm sure no one reads these, but I wanted to say that this has given me a smile to last through at least most of my visit with in-laws this week! :) :) I would add 'LOL', but I'm actually serious! :) :) :)

What a moving and heart wrenching photograph that is a showcase for need and want. Your verse supports that concept. This is well written and presented to the reader in a poignant manner. Good job.

Very powerful poem and your photo adds to the depth of message. Your line, clothed in donations" really caught my eye and touched my heart. A well-written five lines. I hope you do well in the contest.

Wow! "Tattered shadows clothed in donations." It's superb. You must be one of the most prolific poetry writers on Fan Story -- and you are darn good at it. Well done Yvette. In case I don't have a chance to review another one of yours before Christmas, here's wishing you and yours a very Merry Christmas and a Bubbly New Year. =)

This is pretty darn good, my friend! The first two lines are great, and "clothed in donations" says so much without saying it... lovely last two lines. Well written, Yvette! And as always, excellent presentation too!

This five-line poem, Need in Sillouette, finds those who found themselves in the low end of life and need help to make it through until things can turn around.
